How To Understand Our Differences
Added 2025-08-11 07:00:03 +0000 UTCThere is something infinitely sad to me about the idea that women need purses because their pants and dresses have been made less practical in an effort to make them look more feminine, yet men often won’t carry a shoulder bag (which is an extremely useful item) because they’re afraid it will look feminine.
Nothing in this world is less manly than worrying over whether what you want to do is manly enough.
Clint Eastwood owns a grand piano, on which he plays showtunes. When they were filming the first of his Man with No Name films, he and the director agreed that his costume was missing something. Clint had a crew member go to his car (a Volkswagen, if I remember properly) to fetch Clint’s own personal poncho. Look at those movies now and tell me that poncho wouldn’t look at home on the shoulders of the mother of the bride at a wedding in Santa Fe.
I’ll say it again: Nothing in this world is less manly than worrying over whether what you want to do is manly enough.

Back in my ride operator days at Disney, more than one woman handed me a fast pass ticket (this is back when they were paper) that had been stored in their bras. In Florida. In the summer. Side note, I still carry hand sanitizer with me wherever I go.

2025-08-13 07:59:02 +0000 UTCI have to say that after several years in the Army, I gave zero effs for how manly I looked. Knowing that I had done more manly things in three years that most of the other men around me would ever do in a lifetime gave me the confidence to wear whatever I wanted, order whatever drink I wanted, and watch whatever movie I wanted.
